Lovenox Reviews

Working / Worked
injections in the stomach aren't the most comfortable, but are tolerable.
Working / Worked
just started
Working / Worked
After 3 1/2 weeks of oral Coumadin and injectible Lovenox, my INR has dropped again to 1.6. Wondering if I'm coumadin resistant
Working / Worked
Only in the hospital immediately after one episode of PE and one of multiple DVT. Would have cost $800/wk., even with my insurance coverage.
Working / Worked
Used Lovenox in the hospital setting but was switched to Coumadin on discharge. Discontinued after one year but resumed after a recurrence of DVT.
Had this injected into stomach (lovely!!!) while i was in the hospital. No side effects, but I'm assuming it helped to control/dissolve my clots.
Working / Worked
Sore belly but worked
Just completed five days of shots at home. Need addl' u/s to confirm clot is dissolving. Unfortunately pelvic clot is difficult to see
Working / Worked
Really annoying due to problems getting the right dose from my pharmacy. I still have a knot of scar tissue from one injection site.
Working / Worked
Again, don't know if it worked. I only had three shots of it my last two days in the hospital (days 9 and 10) while I was waiting for my INR to reach 2. I found it very painful (it burned) for about ten minutes after the injection and it left a nasty bruise.

    Some doctors just like you to take the Lovenox. Mine did not, thankfully. I just took the coumadin. [More]

    I'm getting closer to scheduling the ablation,, but the Lovenox part is freaking me out. One EP said I can load up Coumidin before but the EP I am c... [More]

    Does anyone know if it is okay to have a couple glasses of wine while taking Lovenox? It is the holidays and it would be nice to have a glass. T... [More]
